Say yes to adventure with the Checkpoint+ SL electric gravel bike. No more stopping where the road surface ends. No more opting out of the scenic route. No mo’ FOMO. Get all the tyre clearance, mounts and capability you need for long gravel adventures, plus an ultra-quiet, lightweight TQ motor with a natural-feeling 28 mph (45 km/h) assist to help you venture even further. Plus, a carbon frame with IsoSpeed comfort tech helps you roll smoothly over the rough stuff.
The Checkpoint+ SL 5 is an electric gravel bike built to take you the distance. You get a TQ HPR60 motor with a smooth and quiet boost and a 360 Wh battery that keeps going on your biggest rides. It comes ready to roll with an OCLV Carbon frame, durable alloy wheels, 12-speed Shimano GRX 1x shifting and endurance geometry to keep you comfortable for the long haul.
Powerful and discreet e-system
The industry-leading TQ HPR 60 harmonic pin ring motor is super efficient with an amazing range-to-weight-to-speed ratio. It's ultra-compact, whisper-quiet and offers a natural-feeling assist up to 28 mph (45 kph in New Zealand) with 50 miles of range (in Eco mode). Plus, choose how much boost you get and when you get it with three assist modes.
Optional Range Extender
Explore even further with an optional 160 Wh Range Extender that fits neatly in your bottle cage and gives you an extra 44% more range.
Road-smoothing IsoSpeed
IsoSpeed technology soaks up fatiguing bumps in the road so you can ride stronger longer.
Relaxed Gravel Endurance geometry
Confident and comfortable Gravel Endurance geometry puts you in a more relaxed upright riding position to tackle even the most epic, all-day adventures.
Big ol' tyre clearance
Room for tyres of up to 50 mm wide (as measured) lets you roll right over the big stuff.
Mounts to haul it all
Carry everything you need with mounts on the frame and fork for front and rear racks, mudguards and Adventure Frame and Triangle Bags. Plus, the Checkpoint+ was designed to fit extra hydration in additon to all your bags.
Compatible with a suspension fork and dropper post
Add a suspension fork with up to 40 mm of travel and a dropper post so you can send it with more comfort and confidence. Or opt for the Checkpoint+ SL 7, which already comes equipped with a suspension fork. *Suspension fork available on all sizes except XS
